Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would provide sufficient external amenity space for the existing occupiers of No 1 Christchurch Green
The effect of the proposed dormer window on the character and appearance of the host property and neighbouring properties

What decided it

The proposed development would not provide sufficient external amenity space for the existing occupiers of No 1, reducing it to approximately 36 square metres when 50 square metres is required for a family house under Policy BH13, thereby failing to provide acceptable living conditions.

Plan policies cited: Policy BH13, Policy D6, Policy DMP1

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
